Altas Strength at GymDĂ©pĂŽt.ca
A Smith machine guides the bar along a stable path and makes training solo much easier. A few key differences then help you pick the station that best matches how you like to train.
First decision
The bar travels on rails and stays aligned through squats, presses and many other movements. Built-in safety stops make solo training easier and let you lock in your range of motion.
A free-standing Olympic bar lets you choose your own bar path. This setup is ideal for training built around free weights and traditional strength movements.
Start with how the bar feels, then decide where the pulleys go and the level of equipment that will make your workouts more complete.
Counterbalanced bar
A counterweight system reduces the felt weight at the start. This setup makes the bar easier to handle, works well with lighter loads and lets people of different strength levels use the station.
Non-counterbalanced bar
The bar's own weight contributes more to the resistance from the very first inch of the movement. This feel suits users who are already comfortable with guided exercises.
Smith machine and rack
This setup keeps training focused on squats, presses, lunges, free weights and strength movements.
Smith machine with pulleys
The pulleys add pulldowns, extensions, arm, back and shoulder exercises, plus a wide range of functional movements.
Plate-loaded pulleys
Olympic plates provide the resistance. This option is ideal for anyone who already owns weights or builds their training around loaded plates.
Built-in weight stacks
A pin selects the resistance and makes quick changes easy between exercises and users.
Ratio and accessories
A 1:1 ratio delivers direct resistance. A 2:1 ratio gives a smoother, longer cable stroke. Press arms, leg stations and accessories then open up even more possibilities.
These three stations show different ways of combining a guided bar, pulleys and extra functions.
For a counterbalanced bar, a direct 1:1 ratio and a complete, easy-to-use station.
The counterbalanced bar reduces the felt weight at the start and makes the guided movement easier to handle. The 1:1 ratio transmits your chosen resistance directly: every load increase is clearly noticeable. The station combines 9 functions and includes 24 accessories.
For adding guided arms and getting the structured feel of a multi-station.
The articulated press arms and guided stations add structured movements for the upper and lower body. The 2:1 pulleys deliver a smooth stroke for pulldowns and functional exercises. Dimensions: 80.5 Ă 58 Ă 86 in.
For switching between a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio to match the exercise in a premium station.
The switchable mechanism lets you choose between a direct 1:1 ratio and a smoother 2:1 stroke depending on the movement. The two 200 lb stacks are identical to those on the AL-3058G. The station combines 9 functions in a compact footprint.
These models combine a guided Smith bar with an Olympic plate-loaded rack, without an integrated cable system.

Foldable models let you fold up the front of the station after your workout. This feature really pays off when the space you reclaim is actually used between training sessions. In a permanent gym, keeping the station open makes it ready to use at any time.
Compare the open and folded dimensions, along with the steps needed to set up the station, before you decide.
